Sir,
I am a central govt. employee entitled for air travel on tour/LTC, now posted in North-East. There is no Air India service from Kolkota to Bhubaneswar, but there are services of private airlines. Can I travel by private airlines, while availing my LTC to come to my home town, Bhubaneswar. If not, what is my entitled class of travel. kindly help.
PKSahoo
Regarding your LTC clarification, you should inform to your office/ authority, there is no direct air india fligt from Kolkatta to Bhubaneswar. Only available change of flights like Kolkatta to Mumbai and Mumbai to Bhubaneshwar or Kolkatta to New Delhi and New Delhi to Bhubaneswar. IT is more expensive. So, the private air lines are cheaper than air india flights. You should give a letter to the authority and will get permission for your travel. If they are not sanctioning, you will be in trouble. It is depending upon the processing officer. You will take printout of air fares and enclosed as a supporting document. Go to google and search for booking airtickets from Kolkatta to Bhubaneswar. You will get list of airlines with fares.
All the best and goodluck for your LTC.
with regards,

From Mar 12 to Mar 27 11, I availed my hometown LTC, this being my first hometown LTC. I had not taken any LTC advance due to sudden planning. In my organisation, the leave requests are approved on office LAN by senior management. While filling my leave request, i had chosen the option that i am availing Hometown LTC. On approval of the LTC leave request, a copy of the approve leave request goes to admin section. Leave for LTC was approved almost 15 days in advance. I completed my hometown LTC and reported office. While i was submitting my claim for LTC, i was told by my admin section staff that the claim is invalid and cannot be processed because i have separately not informed them in writing that i am availing LTC. I told them that a copy of approved leave request clearly mentioning that i am availing hometown LTC was already forwarded to them prior i started my journey. They are not ready to listen. Can anyone tell me if there is a separate prescribed form for only intimation for LTC other than a simple intimation by submitting approved leave request stating that individual is availing home town LTC? If reply is negative, i will incur a financial loss of Rs 22000.Pls guide.

I am a Gp A officer in central govt in PB-4 with grade pay of 8700. I have availed last LTC in Jan 2007 from Delhi to Kashmir by air (Indian Airlines) booked through M/S Balmer Lawrie.
1. How many All India LTC I can avail now against block year 2008-09 and 2010-11 ?
2. Can I avail 2 All India LTC (1 against home town converted to All India, and another against All India itself) by 31 Dec 2012 ?
3. Is it compulsory to travel by Indian Airlines that too on LTC80 package only and booked through authorized agent such as M/S Balmer Lawrie etc .
4. If discounted airfare for travel by Indian Airlines booked through other travel agents such as Makemytrip/Cleartrip website etc are much less than LTC80 fare, can it be booked through these websites ?
5. If on some routes such as Lakshadweep, Indian Airlines do not ply, can private lines ticket be booked ?

Now my wife’s office is saying that I can not travel as family and not entitled for Home town as my declared home town is Delhi and not admissible for LTC Home town.
What is the rule position in this regard?
Husband and wife is one unit for the purpose of LTC and hence the condition of dependency is not applicable--------- Rule 4,GID(3). [ In respect of the other members (Rs. 3500/- p.m)]
Another point they are confusing with the word 'can' in the said clause----
" They can claim LTC for their respective families, viz,. While the husband can claim for his parents / minor brothers / sisters, the wife can avail for her parents / minor brother / sisters." ------It is the liberty that husband or wife cal avail if they desire. It is not mandatory. The facilities are given with a lenient view to make it convenient for both the husband and wife that they can claim LTC for their respective families. This rule or clause is not made to deber the genuine member of families. And, "husband and wife is one unit for the purpose of LTC"----already mentioned above.
However, they should be advised to go through the folloing DOPT's OM carefully,------
LTC when both husband and wife are Government servants and are residing together.
According to the definition of family as given under rule 4, which is applicable, in travel inter alia, for the purpose of admissibility of LTC, the family of a Government servant includes wife or husband, as the case may be, residing with the Government servant and children residing with and wholly dependent upon the Govt. servant. In addition, it includes the parents, sisters and minor brothers, if residing with and wholly dependent upon the Government servant.
According to the existing position where both husband and wife are Govt. servants and are residing together, they constitute one family unit for the purpose of LTC and only one of them can claim this concession and the other spouse travels as a member of his/her family. In such a case, the Govt. servants are required to make a joint declaration of a common hometown, which can be the hometown of either of the spouses or a third place. Therefore, the spouse who avails the LTC as member of family of the other could not claim the benefit separately for his/her own parents or dependent minor brothers and sisters even if they were residing with him/her. On the other hand, where a couple, both being Govt. servants, are residing separately can claim the benefit of LTC individually for their dependent parents, minor brothers and sisters and also declare two separate places as their respective hometowns. Therefore, the husband and wife when both are Govt. employees and are staying together suffer from certain disadvantages inasmuch as they have to declare common hometown and only one of them can claim the benefit of LTC. The matter has been considered in consultation with Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) and it has been decided that where husband and wife both are Govt. servants, they could, at their option, choose to declare separate hometown and both of them may claim the concession separately under the normal provisions of CCS (LTC) Rules in respect of the members of their respective families subject to the condition that if husband or wife avails the facility as a member of the family of the other, he or she will not be entitled for claiming the concession for self independently. Similarly, the children shall be eligible for the benefit in one particular block as members of the family of one of the parents only. All other conditions for admissibility of the LTC shall continue to be applicable as per normal provisions of the scheme.
The above decision will be applicable to the journeys performed for availing the LTC against the block years 1990-91 onwards.
(DOPT OM No. 31011/8/89-Est.(A), dated 8.5.1990)
Hope, now they will understand the matter and allow you on the above context.
You will get it.
in Canara Bank, for Award Staff there is no provision to avail HTC(Home Town LTC), while he can only avail LTC. On the other hand, i can avail only HTC from my department, as the LTC will be availed by my Husband.
SO PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER BOTH OF US AVAILING LTC AND HTC RESPECTIVELY IN ONE 4YEAR BLOCK IS PERMISSIBLE OR NOT???
I am emplyee in Edu Deptt. with GP of 5400 i had traveled to Sringar as HTC and interested to travel to Portblair in the month of Dec same clander year
There was reply on Jan 2012 regarding time gape between two HTC or LTC and HTC given below is there any documentation.
regarding he same First of all, you should remember that the current block is 2010-13, extended upto 31.12.14. secondly, the block is based on calender year, not financial year. As you have joined on 1st April,2010 you have completed one year on 31st March,2011 and so you are entitled to HTC every year as per 6th CPC for the 3 occasions and anywhere in India on the 4th occasion in a block of 4 years for the first two blocks of 4 years. Hence you are entitled to take HTC for 2011(not 2011-12)in 2012 and also for HTC 2012(or anywhere in India)in this year. There is no restriction(or minimum time gap) for taking the both in same year.Hope the matter is now clear to you now.

As per 6 CPC.. i can avail LTC in my first eight years.This year i want to go All india LTC..

I need your help sir....I want to travel in December 2013
i wnat use my LTC for mumbai in oct. 2013 but would like to know if i visit to chennai and then to mumbai will get paid for
1.kolkata to chennai journey
2. mumbai to kolkata journey
payment .....
if i get reimbursed for chennai to mumbai journey it will even better but is it possible,
regards,
abhishek chaturvedy
Return journey, i.e. Mumbai to Kolkata you will get the reimburshment as per your entitlement, provided this is direct and shortest journey.
For outward journey, you are performing break journey. If both journey from kolkata to Chennai and Chennai to Mumbai are in the same class, add the kilometers, proportionately restrict to the kilometers travelled for return journey, i.e. Mumbai to Kolkata direct.
If Kolkata to Chennai and Chennai to Mumbai are of different class, you will get full fare of the higher class first (provided you are entitled for that), then deduct the kilometer from the kilometer of Mumbai to Kolkata. That kilometer of journey will be calculated @ lower class journey fare.
As you joined on 22.09.2005, your first two blocks are 2006-2009 and 2010-2013. Block means Block, i.e. four calendar years. So you are entitled for journey in december 2013. Ask your Admin people to so the rule that your entitled blocks are of date to date year.
Private car/ private taxi not admissible.
LTC facility is admissible for the members of a serving employee, not for pensioners/ family pensioners.
Your brother is not minor, so he is not in your family though he is actually dependent on you.3189 ianaf

2)Air India only upto nearest airport of the destination.
3)Yes you can avail LTC separately for your dependents( by Air India only)
N.B. :- Tickets should be LTC economy and purchased from authorised agents.

Kindly confirm with some official letter issued by Govt. of India.
For my father I claimed "Home Town LTC converted to North East."
My office says that "Reimbursment of LTC claims being restricted to the entitlement for Journey between Headquarters and place of visit, the reimbursement in such case is nil as 'in case of parents/ children residing at other places avail LTC to visit the Govt. servant at headquarters and go back.'
My submission is that it is a case of Home Town LTC converted to visit North East, which is being allowed even if home town and place of posting is same.
Opinions are solicited please.
LTC claim submitted by Mr. M. Madhu babu (Grade pay-2400/-) has been availed 4 year4s block LTC for the block year 2010-13 from kolkata (duty place) to port blair9visiting place) and back by private air lines (spicejet) on concession rates @ 3909.25 per ticket.
